Pluralkronor

Note
Behind the money is a crown: English borrowed Swedish krona, "crown," and kept the Swedish plural too. One krona becomes two hundred kronor, never "kronas." The word is a doublet of crown and corona. Its near-twins krone and króna name the Danish and Norwegian and the Icelandic currencies, so match the spelling to the country before you write a price.
